• Temporary Wave files – This option is for those that simply want to copy
tracks for burning CDs. These files will not be added to your Music Library.
(The temporary WAV files are stored in your temp folder and will have the
.tmp extension.)
• Store in format- This option is the default and will cause the ripped songs to
be added to your Music Library. In addition, you can choose the file format to
rip to.
o MP3 – The default format. (MP3s are compressed to about 10 times
smaller than WAV files for a similar quality)
o WAV – Uncompressed audio format. (Ripping will be much faster
because there is no compression necessary. However, the file size will
be around 40MB per song!)
o WMA – This is Microsoft’s format and is generally smaller than MP3s,
although not as supported. Microsoft claims it is ½ the size of an
equivalent MP3.
o OGG – A royalty and patent free format. Sound quality is great even at
low bit rates! (Encoding to OGG is slow, but the quality is great!)
o Settings – This will allow you to adjust more settings for the format you
are ripping to, including the tag type.
